First Line: Our love that was a rushing flood
Last Line: One frail forget-me-not.
Subject(s): Forget-me-nots; Love
Our love that was a rushing flood
Where noble rivers met,
Now trickles meanly through the days,
A meager rivulet.
What flowed from high lands of the soul
Down to this lonely spot,
Now scarcely serves to keep alive
One frail forget-me-not.
